The gentleman (who was from the Indian subcontinent to judge by his accent) claimed that my SIM card was due to be cut off in the next two days, and that they needed to send me a new one to use instead. TOTAL SCAM. He couldn't answer any of my simple questions, but still needed my postcode to confirm where to send it. He eventually hung up!

I have been receiving calls from this number for weeks. The phone rings five times before disconnecting. I answered phone before it cut out and it was someone with an Indian accent claiming to be from car insurance company. When I asked for company name and address and that I was recording conversation there was no response from scammer.
